Jaxon Commences 2021 Field Season and Receives Report Vectoring in on Multiple Porphyries at Netalzul Mt and Red Springs

By: Newsfile

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 15, 2021) - Jaxon Mining Inc. (TSXV: JAX) (FSE: 0U31) (OTC: JXMNF) ("Jaxon" or the "Company") announces that the field team, led by Dr. Tony Guo, has kicked off the 2021 field season and is now preparing for the Phase One drilling program at Netalzul Mt. Field work includes structural mapping, as well as soil and rock sampling and mapping at Netalzul Mt. Drill testing the high-grade silver polymetallic veins and porphyry systems at Netalzul is scheduled to commence early July. Drill testing the porphyry systems at Red Springs is scheduled for the fall of 2021.

Fathom Geophysics Reports

The Company is pleased to announce it has received two studies on the Netalzul Mt and Red Springs projects prepared by Fathom Geophysics of Ohio, USA fathomgeophysics.com. "3D Porphyry Footprint Modeling of Netalzul, British Columbia, Jaxon Mining, May 2021" and "3D Porphyry Footprint Modeling of Red Springs British Columbia, Jaxon Mining, May 2021" by Dan Core, Fathom Geophysics. The studies were commissioned to assist the Company in its target/site modeling exercise at Netalzul Mt and to advance its ongoing conceptual geological modelling, target visualization and vectoring programs at the Hazelton property.

The studies indicate that the porphyry systems at Netalzul Mt and Red Springs are associated with uniquely and anomalously high mineralization levels across the spectrum of porphyry associated metals, in assayed soil and rock samples.

The Netalzul study identified three major porphyry targets by comparing the structural, geochemical, and geophysical features of the Netalzul Mt porphyry system to reference models of other known porphyry systems. The 2021 drilling targets at Netalzul involve a system of copper-molybdenum porphyries with related intermediate sulfidation (IS) type high-grade silver polymetallic deposits. Outcrops containing anomalously high-grade material were sampled, assayed and reported on during the field exploration programs conducted in 2019 and 2020. Both the Netalzul and Red Springs studies produced confirmatory information correlating with the Company's field work, geological modeling and the originally sited drilling targets. The porphyry footprint modelling effectively locates, visualizes and vectors in on the targets.

The principal motivation for commissioning the studies was to take advantage of an independently produced, model-driven approach to targeting porphyries and their associated mineralization. This process provided an expert review of the entirety of the Company's geochemical and geophysical data, in combination with structural mapping and the other datasets.

The Netalzul study includes the compilation, processing and modelling of both soil and rock geochemical datasets and newly acquired aeromagnetic data. The study involves a live evolving model that will continue to be updated with new information, including information from drill core and cuttings. To date, the information in the study has allowed the Company to visualize, better locate and more precisely vector in on the location of the porphyries and to better locate the distal intermediated sulfidation high-grade copper silver polymetallic mineralized vein systems associated with the porphyry systems at Netalzul Mt. Further sampling work will be completed, as recommended. Additional work around the results of the Red Springs study will be conducted later in the summer of 2021 prior to commencing the Phase 2 drilling program.

Highlights of the Netalzul study include:

  • Five potential targets were defined by applying the footprint modeling method to the Netalzul soil and rock data (Table 1, Figures 1-4). Four of these five targets, FG-NZ-Soils-1 and 2, FG-NZ-Rocks-1 and 2, will be drill tested in Phase One of the 2021 drilling program (Figure 6). The 3D footprint models indicate that the FG-NZ-Soils-1, FG-NZ-Rocks-1 and FG-NZ-Rocks 2 targets all have the potential for deep mineralization, down to 800-1200 meters in depth.
  • Geophysical signatures of the porphyry mineralization are recognized as discrete magnetic lows or magnetic highs. Four potential porphyry Cu-Mo or other mineralization centers were identified. Two are magnetic highs and two are magnetic lows; these could be the porphyry centers depending on which part of the porphyry is exposed (Figure 5). Three of these porphyry centers will be drill tested in the 2021 Phase One drilling program (Figure 5). Porphyry mineralization showings previously observed are within or near these porphyry targets defined by the Netalzul study.
  • Ring structures in the northwestern corner of the magnetic anomaly are considered a caldera collapse (Figure 6) with the potential to be a low-grade bulk tonnage epithermal Ag-Au deposit, based on both rock and soil sampling in 2020 and 2021.

Mr. John King Burns, CEO and Chairman of Jaxon Mining, commented, "To develop sophisticated geological models of the Netalzul Mt and Red Springs projects, our team has integrated the use of advanced geochemical and geophysical methods as exploration tools in combination with structural mapping work. Dr. Guo has organized and is conducting a world class, multi-disciplinary exploration program in pursuit of multiple targets, each with the scope, scale and features necessary to become a commercial copper (polymetallic) mine."

"We are applying all appropriate tools to help us build better and more accurate models of our targets, and we will continue to conduct comprehensive and disciplined exploration as we develop those targets. Our approach reduces drilling risks and expenses and allows for improved drilling results. This systematic and interdisciplinary approach takes time but allows us to delineate and create well-developed and more accurate pictures of our targets before commencing drill testing. Fathom's work indicates the porphyries are there and should be pregnant with metal. We are looking forward to the 2021 drill programs demonstrating that."
